Johnson upsets Feingold to keep Wisconsin Senate seat
GOP Sen. Ron Johnson completed a stunning comeback victory over Democrat Russ Feingold on Tuesday, winning a race that Republicans had seen as a lost cause just weeks ago and dealing a serious blow to Democratic hopes of winning the Senate majority.
Johnson had 52 percent to Feingolds 46 percent when the race was called by three major television networks by 11:20 Eastern time, with 66 percent of precincts reporting.

It's a self-imposed hell. The good news is the door to that hell is open. You can leave at any time.
